Fresh Orange Smoothie Recipe

Fresh Orange Smoothie Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 medium-sized oranges (peeled and deseeded)

• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or any yogurt of your choice)

• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional for flavor depth)

• 1/2 cup cold water or orange juice (for blending)

• 1 cup ice cubes (adjust for thickness)

• A few orange slices (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Oranges:

   • Peel and deseed the oranges. You can also remove the white pith for a smoother texture.

   • If desired, segment the oranges for easier blending.

2. Blend the Ingredients:

   • Add the orange segments to a blender.

   • Add yogurt, honey/maple syrup, vanilla extract, and water/juice.

   • Add ice cubes on top.

3. Blend Until Smooth:

   • Blend on high for 1–2 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth and frothy.

4. Taste & Adjust:

   • Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness or thickness if needed (add more honey or a splash of water/juice).

5. Serve:

   • Pour into glasses.

   • Garnish with a slice of orange on the rim for presentation.

Tips:

• Use frozen orange segments for a thicker, chilled smoothie.

• Add a banana or mango for a twist in flavor and extra creaminess.

• Substitute dairy yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt for a vegan version.
